illumination

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in June last year i had a chance to visit Sydney during the Vivid Festival of Light...

it was only a short trip and the only day we had there was threatening to be a write off with showers and wind, however when the evening approached the weather cleared and we were able to enjoy the viewing of illuminations around Sydney...

i chose this photo of the Opera House because of the strong light beams that were illuminating the famous "sails"...

Canon EOS 5D Mark II 5 seconds F/8.0 ISO 800 47 mm

Hi Sir....Not until I saw your yesterday's magnificent shot from the Sydney Fireworks was MY New Year complete:-) That image from yesterday was a Cracking shot (no pun intended) and todays is just as breathtaking. Your work absolutely goes to the soul and it is Always so very inspirational to me. I try to always be aware of your exposure settings and apertures so that I can try to learn a bit as we go along. And I always, always, always appreciate your kindness in commenting on my woeful shots :-) My very best wishes to you and yours for the New Year ...Thank You :-)
